UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων καὶ χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς, ἐάν τις πρός τινα ἔχῃ μομφήν

tolerating ˱of˲_one_another and forgiving ˱to˲_yourselves if anyone against anyone /may_be/_having /a/_complaint

If your language would put the conditional statement first, you could move the if clause to the beginning, starting a new sentence. Alternate translation: “If someone may have a complaint against someone else, bear with one another and be gracious to each other”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων

tolerating ˱of˲_one_another

In Paul’s culture, the phrase bearing with one another refers to being patient with others, even when they do things that are annoying or strange. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable idiom or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “putting up with one another” or “being patient with one another”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἐάν

Paul uses if to introduce a hypothetical situation that he thinks will happen among the Colossians at times. It is in this kind of situation that he wants them to “bear with one another and be gracious to each other.” If your language would not use if to express that idea, you could express the idea by using a word or phrase that refers to any time something happens. Alternate translation: “whenever”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τις πρός τινα ἔχῃ μομφήν

anyone against anyone /may_be/_having /a/_complaint

This phrase indicates a situation in which one person feels offended or hurt by another person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable idiom or an expression that indicates that one party has been offended or hurt by another. Alternate translation: “a person has been offended by another person”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πρός & ἔχῃ μομφήν

against & /may_be/_having /a/_complaint

If your language does not use an abstract noun to express the idea behind complaint, you could express the idea by translating the abstract noun as a verb. Alternate translation: “may complain against”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καθὼς καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν, οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς

as also the Lord forgave ˱to˲_you_all thus also you_all_‹forgive›

If your language would put the comparison after the command, you could switch them in your translation, including “forgive” in the new first clause. Alternate translation: “you should forgive others, just as the Lord forgave you”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

καθὼς καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν

as also the Lord forgave ˱to˲_you_all

Here Paul draws a comparison between how he wants the Colossians to forgive and how Jesus has forgiven them. Use a word or phrase that would normally be used for comparing things that are similar. Alternate translation: “in the same way that the Lord forgave you”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς

thus also you_all_‹forgive›

Paul leaves out words that could be needed in some languages to make a complete statement. If your language needs these words, you could supply words such as “forgive one another.” Alternate translation: “so also you should forgive each other”
